[0031] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] This utility model embodiment provides an 8K set-top box, including a housing 8, a first baffle 1, a second baffle 2, and a hinge. The housing 8 has a mounting surface, and the first baffle 1 is connected to the mounting surface. In this embodiment, the first baffle 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting surface. The second baffle 2 is spaced apart from the first baffle 1 along a first direction 100°. Under the action of external force, the second baffle 2 can rotate relative to the mounting surface within a preset angle range via the hinge. After the external force is released, the second baffle 2 can stop at the current angle. The surface of the first baffle 1 facing the second baffle 2 is adapted to engage with the front surface of the television 9, and the surface of the second baffle 2 facing the first baffle 1 is adapted to engage with the rear surface of the television 9.

[0034] The hinge in this embodiment is a damping hinge. The second baffle 2 can rotate to any angle within a predetermined angle range of the hinge and then maintain that angle, so that the first baffle 1 and the second baffle 2 clamp the TV 9, thereby keeping the position of the housing 8 relative to the TV 9 unchanged. It has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation.

[0035] This embodiment is applicable to a wide range of TV 9 models. As long as the thickness of the front and rear sides of the TV 9 is less than the distance between the first baffle 1 and the second baffle 2 in the first direction 100, the set-top box can be installed on the TV 9 in this embodiment. To a certain extent, the set-top box in this embodiment has a wide range of applications.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, the plane of the housing 8 closest to the television 9 is taken as the horizontal plane (0°). The second baffle 2 can rotate counterclockwise by a maximum of 90 degrees, that is, the preset angle range of the second baffle 2 is α, α=0-90°.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As an example, the hinge includes a hinge member 3 and a pivot 4; the hinge member 3 includes a fixed part 31 and a hinge part 32, the fixed part 31 is connected to the mounting surface, and the hinge part 32 is provided with a rotating hole 321; the pivot 4 extends along the second direction 200, one end of the pivot 4 is connected to the second baffle 2, and the end of the pivot 4 away from the second baffle 2 is rotatably assembled with the rotating hole 321; the second direction 200 is perpendicular to the first direction 100.

[0038] In this embodiment, the fixing part 31 is plate-shaped, and the hinge part 32 is a planar sheet wound into a cylindrical shape. The inner hole in the cylindrical hinge part 32 forms a rotating hole 321. The rotating shaft 4 is connected to the second baffle 2 so that the rotating shaft 4 and the second baffle 2 rotate synchronously. The rotating shaft 4 is placed in the rotating hole 321 and rotates relative to the hinge part 32 in the rotating hole 321.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4As an example, the hinge 3 is an elastic member, and the hinge portion 32 is provided with a locking groove 33 communicating with the rotating hole 321. The opening of the locking groove 33 is close to the mounting surface. As mentioned above, when the hinge portion 32 is wound into a cylindrical shape, the winding angle is less than 360 degrees, so that the hinge portion 32 forms the locking groove 33. In this embodiment, at least the hinge portion 32 is elastic. The elasticity of the hinge portion 32 makes the rotating hole 321 tend to contract towards its rotating shaft 4. Due to the presence of the locking groove 33, the side of the hinge portion 32 away from the fixed portion 31 is more likely to contract inward than other parts of the hinge portion 32. This makes it easier for the rotating shaft 4 to rub against the side of the hinge portion 32 away from the fixed portion 31 when rotating, thus making the friction force different when rotating counterclockwise and clockwise. (See attached diagram) Figure 4 , Figure 4 In this embodiment, the frictional force of the rotating shaft 4 when rotating clockwise is less than that when rotating counterclockwise. That is, when a person rotates the second baffle 2, the force applied must be greater than the frictional force of the second baffle 2 and the hinge 32 when maintaining the angle.

[0040] As an example, two hinge members 3 are provided, spaced apart along the second direction 200; a rotating shaft 4 passes through the second baffle 2 along the second direction 200, one end of the rotating shaft 4 is rotatably assembled with the rotating hole 321 of one of the hinge members 3, and the other end of the rotating shaft 4 is rotatably assembled with the rotating hole 321 of the other hinge member 3. In this embodiment, the middle part of the rotating shaft 4 is connected to the second baffle 2, and both ends of the rotating shaft 4 are respectively connected to the two hinge members 3. Ideally, the two hinge members 3 are symmetrical about the plane passing through the midpoint of the length of the rotating shaft 4, so that the frictional force and other external forces on both ends of the rotating shaft 4 are the same during rotation.

[0041] As an example, the second baffle 2 has a protrusion 21 at one end near the mounting surface. The protrusion 21 has a mounting hole, and the rotating shaft 4 passes through the mounting hole along the second direction 200. Both ends of the rotating shaft 4 are exposed outside the protrusion 21. In this embodiment, the protrusion 21 is placed between the two hinge members 3. The axial length of the protrusion 21 along the rotating shaft 4 (second direction 200) is much smaller than the axial length of the second baffle 2 along the rotating shaft 4, thereby reducing the length of the rotating shaft 4.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 As an example, the outer circumferential surface of the portion of the rotating shaft 4 that passes through the mounting hole is provided with knurling 42. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 4 and the second baffle 2 achieve synchronous rotation through the knurling 42, giving the connection between the rotating shaft 4 and the second baffle 2 a simple structural advantage. Oil reservoirs 41 are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 4, and the oil reservoirs 41 are arranged around the central axis of the rotating shaft 4. The space surrounded by the oil reservoirs 41 and the hinge portion 32 is used together to store damping oil, preventing the damping oil from overflowing and maintaining the damping and lubrication effects during rotation.

[0043] Reference Figure 3As an example, the 8K set-top box also includes a bottom shell 5, which is connected to the mounting surface. The hinge 3 is located in the space enclosed by the bottom shell 5 and the mounting surface. The bottom shell 5 has a receiving groove 51 on the side facing the second baffle 2. The protrusion 21 is located in the receiving groove 51. The groove edge of the receiving groove 51 near the mounting surface has a groove 52. The groove 52 and the mounting surface form a through hole for the rotating shaft 4 to pass through.

[0044] In this embodiment, the fixing part 31 is connected to the housing 8 by bolts, and the bottom shell 5 is located on the outside of the fixing part 31 and the hinge part 32. The bottom shell 5 has the effect of covering the bolts and hiding the rotating shaft 4, the fixing part 31 and the hinge part 32, thereby making the set-top box look more beautiful.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 As an example, along the third direction 300, the length of the second baffle 2 is greater than the length of the first baffle 1, and along the second direction 200, the width of the second baffle 2 is greater than the width of the first baffle 1; the third direction 300 is perpendicular to the first direction 100, and the third direction 300 is perpendicular to the second direction 200. In this embodiment, the length of the first baffle 1 along the third direction 300 is smaller, thereby reducing the amount of the front surface of the TV 9 obstructed by the first baffle 1, while the length of the second baffle 2 along the third direction 300 is longer, so that even when facing a very thin TV 9, the second baffle 2 can still effectively contact the rear surface of the TV 9, thereby improving the stability of the second baffle 2 against the rear surface of the TV 9.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 As an example, a gasket 6 is provided on the bottom shell 5. The gasket 6 is located on the side of the bottom shell 5 closer to the television 9. The gasket 6 is generally a flexible product such as rubber. The presence of the gasket 6 reduces the hard contact between the bottom shell 5 and the television 9, and reduces damage to the surface of the television 9.

[0047] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0048] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
